THE PELICAN BRIEF

Academy Award winners Julia Roberts and Denzel Washington headline and Alan J. Pakula (Presumed Innocent, All the President's Men) directs this first-rate thriller based on the John Grisham bestseller. Two Supreme Court justices have been murdered and a lone law student (Roberts) turns her suspicions about the deaths into a speculative brief that sends shock waves into the highest levels of government. She and a determined investigative reporter (Washington) want to tell the world what they have uncovered - if they can live long enough to tell it. The race is on and these two aren't just runners they are moving targets.
